Analysis:
Abhinav Kashyap was the man who gave ‘Dabangg’ and created a new trend in Bollywood. So, when he embarked upon his next and that too with Ranbir, there was no limit to the expectations on this film. However, it is once again proved that audience is very unforgiving if the film doesn’t have what it takes to please them and stardom or brand doesn’t matter. This is the case with ‘Besharam’. Though the hype and expectation is good, the film just doesn’t have it to entertain. Basically, the script was just routine, the screenplay was not effective, the dialogues were good here and there, the background score was moderate. The big damage was lack of proper songs. Cinematography was the only thing to cheer about. Editing was alright. Costumes and art department were impressive. In acting front, Ranbir did his role with full conviction and he didn’t falter but his contribution could not protect. Pallavi Sharda is pretty and has some sex appeal but she just could not fit into the character properly. Rishi Kapoor had a cakewalk. Neetu was energetic but went overboard in few places. The man to watch out for is Jaaved Jaaferi, he is excellent. Amitosh Nagpal was not good. The film starts off on a promising note but as it progresses the fizz comes down. In the second half, the required melodrama or emotional strings were not there and some cinematic liberties also hampered the flow. Overall, this is a film which came in with a strong expectation but will leave without any expectation.-IndiaBells
Judgement: Not at all impressive, can be ignored
